Stay and Explore

Day 1Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your journey to the spa town of Llandrindod Wells, in the heart of Wales. We aim for you to arrive at the Metropole Hotel (4T) between 4pm and 5pm, where tea and Welshcakes will be served on arrival. An official welcome drinks reception begins in the evening, followed by dinner and a concert with the Rhayader Male Voice Choir.

Day 2Today is yours to enjoy at leisure. Maybe take a walk around Llandrindod Wells, which developed after the introduction of the Central Wales Railway in 1865, happily coinciding with the Victorian fashion to utilise the natural spring waters. If the weather is fine, Llandrindod Lake and the maze of paths in Rock Park will be a pleasant walk. Lunch is offered at the hotel, as is afternoon tea with Welshcakes. Dinner and entertainment will follow this evening, before an opportunity to attend a local midnight mass, for those who wish.

Day 3After a hearty breakfast, you are free to relax and enjoy the hotel’s facilities, or take a stroll to enjoy the fresh air. Join Father Christmas for mulled wine around the Christmas tree at midday, before Christmas lunch. You are invited to listen to Her Majesty’s Christmas Message this afternoon, before bingo and games with tea and Christmas cake. A carvery dinner is offered this evening, followed by entertainment.

Day 4After breakfast we depart for our excursion to Abbey-Cwm-Hir Hall, an historic Gothic house lovingly restored to its Victorian glory. All 52 rooms are decorated for the festive season in the style of a true Victorian Christmas. The picturesque mansion, home to many interesting collections, overlooks a 12-acre garden with many of its Victorian features still intact - a lake, waterfall, 1.5-acre walled garden and woodland. Later, we return to our hotel where the remainder of the afternoon is at leisure. Afternoon tea and Welshcakes are served, and bingo or board games will be available, for those who wish to participate. Dinner is provided this evening before entertainment.

Day 5You will be collected at 10am by your Titan vehicle, for the journey home.

You will have the option to book your own flights independently with the operator.
